Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of environmental protection and soil remediation technology, specifically a method for balancing soil pH and heavy metals. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, soil heavy metal pollution is becoming increasingly serious, posing a severe threat to the ecological environment and human health. Balancing soil pH and remediating heavy metal pollution are key to achieving soil pollution control. Existing remediation methods typically include chemical regulation, phytoremediation, and microbial remediation. These methods control the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals in polluted soil to achieve pollution control and ecological restoration.
[0003] In existing technologies, some methods control soil pH and heavy metal activity by applying chemical regulators alone or planting hyperaccumulating plants. These methods are advantageous because they are simple to operate, low in cost, can reduce the risk of heavy metal migration to some extent, and reduce the content of some heavy metals in the soil through plant absorption. They are suitable for preliminary remediation work in lightly polluted areas.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have some shortcomings in treating complex heavy metal pollution and regulating soil pH. Among them, the effects of existing single remediation methods are limited, it is difficult to achieve dynamic balance control of soil pH, and the remediation process lacks real-time monitoring of environmental parameters, resulting in low resource utilization and insufficient remediation efficiency. In addition, existing methods are difficult to maintain the stability of soil micro-ecosystems, and the remediation effect is difficult to maintain for a long time, which cannot meet the long-term stable treatment needs of heavy metal contaminated soil.

Attached Figure Description
[0048] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a method for balancing soil pH and heavy metals, comprising the following steps:
[0051] We provide soil enzyme preparations that are resistant to heavy metals. These preparations enhance soil enzyme activity through a slow-release process. By providing soil enzyme preparations that are resistant to heavy metals, we can effectively improve the sustained activity of enzymes in the soil, enabling the soil to maintain the high efficiency of enzymes in heavy metal environments. This will enhance the stability of soil structure, reduce the mobility of heavy metal ions, and create a suitable soil environment for subsequent phytoremediation and microbial remediation.
[0052] By selecting hyperaccumulating plants and applying chlorophyll enhancers, plants and enzymes can work together to remediate heavy metals in the soil. This step enables plants to maintain vigorous growth in heavy metal-contaminated soil, enhancing their absorption and accumulation of heavy metals. At the same time, through the synergistic effect of enzymes and plants, a stable heavy metal adsorption environment is formed in the plant root zone, further reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals and improving the efficiency of soil remediation.
[0053] Applying slow-release pH regulators dynamically controls soil pH. Through the dynamic regulation of slow-release pH regulators, soil pH can be maintained within a stable range throughout the remediation process, avoiding heavy metal migration and increased activity due to pH fluctuations, thereby improving the effectiveness of soil remediation and providing a suitable living environment for plants and microorganisms.
[0054] Introducing heavy metal-resistant microorganisms can improve the soil's micro-ecological environment, thereby promoting the adsorption and fixation of heavy metals. These microorganisms can form a biological barrier in polluted soil, significantly reducing the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals and decreasing their toxicity to plants. At the same time, they can create a micro-ecological environment in the soil, which helps to enhance the soil's self-repair capabilities.
[0055] By monitoring key parameters in the soil in real time through an intelligent monitoring system, the release amount of each application can be automatically adjusted to control the soil's pH and heavy metal concentration. The application of the intelligent monitoring system can keep the soil's pH and heavy metal concentration within a suitable range, reduce human intervention and waste, and improve the efficiency and sustainability of remediation. At the same time, through data feedback, the intelligent control system can respond to changes in the soil environment in a timely manner, ensuring the dynamic balance and efficient completion of the remediation process.
[0056] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the soil enzyme activity enhancement step includes:
[0057] Screening for enzymes suitable for heavy metal pollution remediation, including phosphatases, peroxidases, and dehydrogenases. In heavy metal contaminated soil, specific enzymes (such as phosphatases, peroxidases, and dehydrogenases) can undergo complex chemical reactions with metal ions in the soil, thereby reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals. These enzymes effectively fix heavy metals in the soil by binding with heavy metal ions or generating insoluble compounds, making them less likely to be absorbed by plants or migrate with water flow.
[0058] Enzymes can be modified using genetic engineering or enzyme immobilization techniques to maintain high activity in heavy metal polluted environments. Genetic engineering can enhance enzyme activity and resistance in heavy metal environments, preventing enzyme inactivation under the interference of heavy metal ions. Enzyme immobilization, on the other hand, increases enzyme stability, allowing enzymes to maintain activity for a longer period in complex polluted environments. This enables enzymes to maintain the fixation and stabilization of heavy metals over a long period, thus ensuring the long-term ecological balance of the soil.
[0059] Slow-release enzyme preparations are prepared by encapsulating enzymes in a biodegradable polymer matrix. The enzymes are released slowly to maintain their activity in the soil. The slow-release enzyme preparations utilize the slow degradation characteristics of the biodegradable polymer to gradually release enzyme molecules into the soil, thereby maintaining the enzyme activity level in the soil. The slow release mechanism can prolong the enzyme's effective period in the soil, avoid the enzyme from being released in large quantities in a short period of time and becoming ineffective, and at the same time maintain continuous enzyme activity in the soil, enhancing the fixation effect on heavy metals.
[0060] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the administration of the sustained-release enzyme preparation includes:
[0061] Enzyme preparations are evenly applied to the surface layer of contaminated soil and injected into underground contaminated areas to ensure comprehensive coverage of the contaminated areas. Slow-release enzyme preparations can be distributed at different layers of contaminated soil by even application or injection into the ground, thereby ensuring that the enzyme preparations can play a role at all depths in the heavy metal contaminated area, enhancing the ability to fix heavy metals. Especially in deep soil, the presence of enzymes can reduce the vertical migration of heavy metal ions, preventing them from entering the groundwater layer or further spreading to other soil areas, thereby controlling the spread of heavy metals.
[0062] Enzyme activity sensors are used to monitor enzyme activity in the soil in real time, and the data is transmitted to the central control system. By monitoring the enzyme activity level in the soil in real time, the enzyme activity sensors can accurately reflect the distribution and activity of enzymes in contaminated soil. This data can help understand the release of slow-release enzyme preparations in the soil and the effective range of enzyme action. At the same time, it can promptly identify areas with insufficient enzyme activity. By transmitting enzyme activity data to the central control system in real time, data support can be provided for subsequent enzyme preparation application and release regulation, realizing dynamic management of soil enzyme activity.
[0063] The central control system automatically adjusts the application rate of enzyme preparations based on enzyme activity data to ensure the continuous activity of enzymes during the remediation period. By receiving enzyme activity data, the central control system can dynamically adjust the application strategy of enzyme preparations to ensure that the enzyme activity level in the soil remains stable within a suitable range. Through an adaptive optimization model, the system can automatically adjust the application strategy according to changes in the soil environment, making the use of enzyme preparations more efficient and thus enhancing the soil's remediation effect on heavy metals.
[0064] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, plant-enzyme synergistic repair includes:
[0065] Hyperaccumulating plants were selected based on the type of heavy metals in the soil, including Indian mustard, sunflower and willow. Hyperaccumulating plants have natural tolerance and absorption capacity for heavy metals. They can absorb heavy metals through their roots and transfer them to the above-ground parts. These plants can not only survive in soils contaminated with heavy metals, but also accumulate heavy metals in their tissues through bioaccumulation, thereby reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals in the soil.
[0066] Planting plants in contaminated areas with a planting density of 10-15 plants per square meter can maximize the absorption efficiency of heavy metals within a limited soil area. Higher planting density can increase the total amount of heavy metals absorbed by plants per unit area, thereby accelerating the remediation process. At the same time, reasonable density can avoid resource competition between plants and provide each plant with sufficient light, nutrients and water supply to ensure the maximization of its growth and heavy metal absorption capacity.
[0067] Applying chlorophyll enhancers rich in magnesium, iron, and zinc, either by spraying or drenching, can improve the photosynthetic efficiency and heavy metal absorption capacity of plants. Magnesium, iron, and zinc are important elements for chlorophyll synthesis and can significantly improve the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. In environments polluted by heavy metals, these elements can help plants improve their tolerance, reduce the inhibitory effect of heavy metals on plant photosynthesis, and thus enhance the plant's growth capacity.
[0068] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, plant-enzyme synergistic repair further includes:
[0069] Applying peroxidase and phosphatase to the root zone of plants creates a microenvironment conducive to heavy metal adsorption through the interaction between enzymes and plant root exudates. Plant root exudates contain organic acids, amino acids, and other substances that can synergistically interact with enzymes to form a unique chemical microenvironment. For example, the oxidation products generated by peroxidase when decomposing organic matter can enhance the fixation effect of heavy metals; while the phosphate ions produced by phosphatase can combine with heavy metal ions in the soil to form insoluble metal phosphate precipitates, effectively fixing them in the root zone soil. This synergistic microenvironment of enzymes and plant root exudates can enhance the adsorption capacity of heavy metals and reduce their mobility and bioavailability.
[0070] Based on the enzyme activity and heavy metal concentration in the plant root zone, the application rate of enzyme preparations is adjusted to enhance the plant's absorption of heavy metals. Enzyme activity sensors and heavy metal concentration sensors are used to regularly monitor enzyme activity levels and heavy metal concentrations in the plant root zone. The sensors are buried near the plant roots, and the data collected by the sensors is wirelessly transmitted to the central control system. The system analyzes in real time whether the current enzyme application rate meets the remediation requirements based on changes in enzyme activity and heavy metal concentration in the root zone. This not only ensures the fixation effect of heavy metals in the soil, but also improves the plant roots' ability to absorb heavy metals through continuous enzyme activity supply.
[0071] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, dynamic pH adjustment includes:
[0072] Polymer microencapsulation technology is used to encapsulate lime, gypsum, or biochar to prepare slow-release pH regulators. Polymer microencapsulation technology can effectively prolong the release time of pH regulators, preventing them from being released all at once in the soil in a short time and causing drastic pH fluctuations. The lime, gypsum, or biochar encapsulated in the polymer gradually releases alkaline or acidic substances into the soil. As the polymer slowly degrades, the release amount of the regulator remains stable, so that the soil pH is gradually adjusted to achieve dynamic equilibrium.
[0073] Slow-release pH regulators are applied to the soil to ensure that the regulators are released slowly and continuously control pH. The slow-release pH regulators gradually release the effective components of lime, gypsum, or biochar into the soil to regulate the soil pH. When the soil pH is maintained within a suitable range, the bioavailability and mobility of heavy metals are effectively controlled, reducing the solubility of heavy metals in the soil solution and preventing them from entering plants or water bodies. In addition, the continuous release of slow-release regulators can maintain a dynamic balance of soil pH, ensuring long-term stability of the soil environment and providing a suitable environment for plant growth and microbial activity.
[0074] Please see the appendix Figure 1In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, dynamic pH adjustment further includes:
[0075] A pH sensor is installed to monitor soil pH. The sensor is connected to a central control system. The pH sensor can accurately detect changes in soil pH, obtain pH values of different soil layers in real time, and transmit the data to the central control system. Soil pH is affected by the release rate of slow-release acid-base regulators, the solubility of heavy metal pollutants, and microbial activity. By monitoring soil pH in real time, the system can accurately understand changes in the soil environment and determine whether it is necessary to adjust the release amount and frequency of acid-base regulators. This helps to maintain the stability of heavy metals and reduce their migration and bioavailability.
[0076] The central control system adjusts the release amount of slow-release acid-base regulators based on pH data from sensors to ensure that the soil pH is within the range of 5.5 to 7.5. The central control system uses real-time data from sensors, combined with historical data and soil pH change trends, to form an automatic control model. By adjusting the release amount and rate of the slow-release acid-base regulators, the system can respond quickly when the pH deviates from the target range and dynamically adjust the soil pH. This keeps the pH value in the soil environment within a stable range, providing suitable conditions for heavy metal fixation, plant growth, and microbial activity, and ensuring the sustainability and stability of soil remediation.
[0077] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the microbial synergy includes:
[0078] We screened out heavy metal-resistant microorganisms suitable for the remediation of heavy metal pollution, including actinomycetes and Pseudomonas. Actinomycetes and Pseudomonas exhibit high tolerance and adsorption capacity in heavy metal-polluted environments. These microorganisms can bind to heavy metal ions through extracellular secretions to form complexes or precipitates, reducing the mobility of heavy metals. In addition, they can adsorb heavy metal ions and fix them on their cell walls, reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals. By screening out microorganisms suitable for specific pollution environments, we can specifically increase the heavy metal fixation effect in polluted soil.
[0079] Genetic engineering technology can be used to enhance the heavy metal tolerance and metabolic capacity of microorganisms. This technology can precisely regulate the gene expression level of microorganisms, thereby improving their tolerance and metabolic activity in heavy metal environments. For example, by increasing metal ion transport proteins, microorganisms can more efficiently adsorb or excrete heavy metal ions. Furthermore, by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, microorganisms can resist oxidative stress caused by heavy metals, thus enhancing the biological stability of heavy metals in the soil.
[0080] The cultured heavy metal-resistant microorganisms are uniformly applied to the contaminated soil to form a microbial barrier, which further promotes the adsorption and fixation of heavy metals. The uniform application of heavy metal-resistant microorganisms to the contaminated soil can form a sustainable biological barrier, effectively enhance the fixation effect of heavy metals, and prevent them from migrating to groundwater and other soil layers. This establishes a stable heavy metal adsorption and fixation system in the contaminated soil, thereby improving the overall soil remediation effect and ecological safety.
[0081] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the microbial synergy further includes:
[0082] Applying enzyme preparations containing phosphatase promotes the production of organic acids or complexing agents by microorganisms, causing heavy metals to precipitate into insoluble compounds. Applying enzyme preparations containing phosphatase can significantly enhance the soil's ability to fix heavy metals, reduce the risk of heavy metal migration and plant absorption. Phosphatase works synergistically with microorganisms to form insoluble precipitates or complexes, stabilizing heavy metals in the soil, reducing their potential harm to the environment, thereby improving the remediation effect and ecological safety of contaminated soil.
[0083] Monthly diversity analysis of soil microbial communities is conducted to ensure the health and stability of the micro-ecosystem. Microbial community diversity is a key indicator of the health of soil micro-ecosystems. The higher the diversity, the stronger the adaptability of the microbial community to environmental stress, which helps maintain the balance of the micro-ecosystem. By regularly analyzing the microbial community structure, problems of reduced microbial diversity caused by heavy metal pollution or environmental changes can be detected in a timely manner. This allows for the restoration of micro-ecological balance by adjusting application strategies, ensuring that there are sufficient heavy metal-resistant microorganisms and synergistic microbial communities in the soil.
[0084] Please see the appendix Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, intelligent monitoring and feedback includes:
[0085] The system incorporates multiple sensors, including pH, enzyme activity, heavy metal concentration, and microbial sensors, for real-time monitoring of the soil environment. The pH sensor is installed at different soil depths to detect soil acidity and alkalinity. The enzyme activity sensor detects enzyme activity levels in the soil to assess the effectiveness of enzyme preparations. The heavy metal concentration sensor detects heavy metal content in the soil to monitor changes and migration of heavy metals. The microbial sensor measures microbial activity and community structure in the soil. All sensors are protected by waterproof and corrosion-resistant housings to withstand the harsh environment of long-term burial in the soil. Data collected by the sensors is transmitted in real-time to the central control system via a wireless network to ensure timeliness and accuracy, thereby enabling more comprehensive environmental information acquisition.
[0086] Data collected by sensors is transmitted to a central control system, which automatically adjusts the application rates of enzymes, pH regulators, chlorophyll enhancers, and microorganisms. This automatic adjustment function of the central control system enables precise control of soil remediation agents, maintaining soil environmental parameters within ideal ranges and improving the effectiveness of heavy metal remediation and pH balance. Simultaneously, this automated control method reduces the frequency and cost of manual intervention, thereby increasing the efficiency of soil remediation.
[0087] The central control system constructs an adaptive optimization model based on historical and real-time data. Through algorithms, it predicts the remediation effect within the next 24 hours and dynamically adjusts the application strategy. The adaptive optimization model uses historical and real-time data to build a predictive model of soil remediation effect. It can make control decisions based on the changing trends of the soil environment and predict changes in soil pH, heavy metal concentration, and microbial activity in the future. This allows for advance adjustment of the application strategy, ensuring that the soil environment can achieve the expected remediation effect under different conditions, thereby improving the system's response speed and control accuracy.
[0088] To better understand the present invention, the above content will be described in detail below with reference to comparative experiments.

All soil samples were contaminated with heavy metals (such as lead or cadmium) at a concentration of 200 ppm.
[0098] Experimental setup:
[0099] Experimental group: The integrated remediation method of this invention (enzyme preparation, pH regulator, hyperaccumulating plants, heavy metal resistant microorganisms, and intelligent monitoring and feedback system) was applied to soil samples.

By the end of week 8, the cadmium concentration in the experimental group decreased to 40 ppm, with a fixation rate of 80%, demonstrating a higher heavy metal fixation effect. In contrast, the cadmium concentration decrease in the control groups was smaller.
[0115] Control group 1 (acid-base regulator): only decreased to 115 ppm, with a fixation rate of 42.5%, indicating limited effect;
[0116] Control group 2 (hyperaccumulating plants): cadmium concentration decreased to 100 ppm, and the fixation rate was 50%, indicating that the adsorption effect of plants was limited;
[0117] Control group 3 (microbial remediation): cadmium concentration decreased to 105 ppm, fixation rate was 47.5%, and the effect was not significant;
[0118] Therefore, experiments show that the method of the present invention improves the fixation effect of heavy metals in soil and reduces the bioavailability of heavy metals through the action of enzyme preparations, acid-base regulation, plants, microorganisms and intelligent feedback systems.

[0124] Control group 2: Using traditional acid-base regulators (such as lime or aluminum sulfate), without sustained-release properties and intelligent regulation.
[0125] Experimental group setup
[0126] Experimental group (method of this invention): Using a slow-release pH regulator, combined with a multi-parameter sensor and intelligent feedback system, to monitor and regulate soil pH in real time.
[0127] Control group 1: Only a slow-release acid-base regulator was used, but no sensor monitoring and feedback system was provided.
[0128] Control group 2: A one-time adjustment was made using traditional acid-base regulators (such as lime), without sustained-release properties or intelligent monitoring.
[0129] Experimental steps
[0130] Soil preparation and grouping: Soil samples were collected from the same contaminated area and divided into an experimental group and two control groups, with different acid-base adjustment methods applied to each group.
[0131] Apply acid-base regulators:
[0132] Experimental group: A slow-release acid-base regulator was applied, and a pH sensor was installed. The sensor was connected to the central control system for dynamic feedback regulation.
[0133] Control group 1: A slow-release acid-base regulator was administered, and no sensor was installed for monitoring.
[0134] Control group 2: A one-time adjustment was made by applying a traditional acid-base regulator (such as lime).
[0135] Experimental period: The experiment lasted for 6 weeks, and the soil pH value was recorded every 3 days to observe the effect of different treatment methods on soil acidity and alkalinity regulation.
[0136] Data collection and analysis:
[0137] The experimental group monitored the system through sensors, and the system automatically adjusted the release amount of slow-release acid-base regulator to maintain the soil pH within the range of 5.5 to 7.5.
[0138] Soil pH changes were manually recorded in control groups 1 and 2 to detect fluctuations in soil acidity and alkalinity in each group.
[0139] Experimental Data Table
[0140] The following are possible soil pH data during the experiment. The table shows the pH fluctuations of different groups at different time points.
[0141] The comparative experimental data are shown in Table 2:
[0142] Table 2. Experimental data on dynamic regulation of soil pH
[0143]
[0144] From the data in Table 2, we can obtain:
[0145] The experimental group (using the method of this invention) maintained the soil pH within the ideal range of 5.5–7.5 throughout the entire experimental period, with minimal fluctuations in acidity and alkalinity, demonstrating a good dynamic regulation effect. The sensor monitoring and intelligent feedback system in the experimental group could adjust the release of acid-base regulators in real time, keeping the soil pH stable; in contrast:
[0146] Control group 1 (slow-release regulator, no monitoring): The soil pH value increased in the early stage (weeks 1-2), but there was a lack of real-time monitoring. In the later stage, it showed unstable fluctuations, with large fluctuations in pH value, and failed to maintain it within the ideal range.
[0147] Control group 2 (traditional regulator): After the pH value reached 7.2 in the first week, the pH value dropped rapidly as the regulator was gradually depleted, and even fluctuated greatly, making it difficult to maintain a stable range, and the fluctuation range was the largest.
[0148] This experiment shows that the method of the present invention can achieve dynamic balance regulation of soil pH through an intelligent monitoring system, and maintain pH value stable within the ideal range over a long period of time.
[0149] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
